THE STARTING 11: Ways Red Bulls differ from other New York teams

Another successful meeting at Red Bull Arena

While our amigos in Mexico City's Cruz Azul barrio are still wiping their tears with day-old burritos, Toronto FC must quickly put aside the terrific Champions League victory and look again to the MLS playoff race. Their next opponent is once again the nouveau riche New York Red Bulls avec Le Player Designate Thierry Henry. After years of barely treading water in the crowded New York pro sports market, the Red Bull New York/ New Jersey MetroStars Red Bulls may have finally started to make their mark with a great new stadium and a raft of big signings. However, there are still some differences between them and their New York sporting peers...
　
11. Don't have to worry about pesky media coverage
　
10. Chose an even scarier Jersey neighbourhood for new stadium
　
9. Red Bull instead of Gatorade
　
8. Matches provide a nice quiet place to read a good book
　
7. Team bus also makes local stops in Bronx and Queens
　
6. Less A-Rod, more G-Sutt
　
5. Only gets to beat on a Toronto team twice a year
　
4. Instead of Jay-Z at courtside - have Kool Moe Dee selling hot dogs
　
3. Madonna barely interested in sleeping with them
　
2. Austrian owners make every day sound like "Die Hard"
　
1. 100% more Frenchmen

"I go to work... sellin' hot dogs"
